71hp 162ci 3-cylinder Turbocharged Diesel

15-speed Power Shuttle (meaning you can change directions under power in any gear simply by moving a lever forward and back = wonderful to have)

A Backhoe attachment is an option; and, if you are operating so close as to not be able to afford the backhoe attachment, you ain't gonna make it anyway.

As she sits = 7,500-lbs

Mahindra started making tractors in India in 1963; they have factories in India, Australia, China, and the U.S.; they are by far the largest selling brand of tractor worldwide.

1921 International Harvester 8-16

https://ibb.co/8LgDcj3X" rel="nofollow">

As Seen at Renfro Valley Appalachian Harvest Festival__2006

A very common sight; the tractor had sat abandoned long enough for a sizable tree to grow through the frame; rather than cut the tree completely away, someone elected to leave it as a very unique conversation piece.

I have seen old abandoned cars and trucks left sitting with the hood open that have had saw-log sized trees growing through them.

Believe it or not, she was sitting there, running like a Singer Sewing Machine, for hours, with the rocker cover off and the valve train exposed.

Sheppard Diesel SD-3 Mining Tractor-Trailer Ore Mover

https://ibb.co/KxKjRTqn" rel="nofollow">

As Seen at Renfro Valley Appalachian Harvest Festival__2006

This example is a hand-built replica, built from five photographs of the real thing.

Note the angled cylinder mounted beside the engine; Sheppard ran oxygen into the exhaust to cut down on CO2 emissions in the mine.

There were originally five of these built; and, from what I can gather, all five were lost underground in a flooded coal mine and are still there, under ground and under water.

The rear tire tread design is what is called "Rice & Cane"

https://ibb.co/jZbrSycF" rel="nofollow">

To get an idea as to just how tall this machine is, on a normal tractor, the center of the rear wheels would be in line with the center of the axle housing, just under the seat.

I clumb up in the seat to take these next two photos; I felt like I was on top of the world.

That's a good looking tractor and undoubtedly rare but I still just don't like high-crops!

As Seen at Moreland Siding - CNO&TP Milepost 126.6

110hp https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/003/2/1/3211-john-deere-7210.html" rel="nofollow -

Built 1997-2002

28 Forward Gears

The yellow box on the side of the tractor is a counter-weight and hydraulic fluid tank for a https://www.tigermowers.com/tiger-products/boom-mowers/mid-mounted" rel="nofollow - ; there is a huge weight in the rear wheel that also is a counter-weight.

The wood boxed barn is sheeted with Galvanized corrugated barn roofing; although not quite so attractive, the metal was less expensive than frequent painting.

The red domed box at the corner of the barn is an automatic cattle waterer; they work fine so long as they are not connected to "city water"; although they will drink out of a stagnant frog pond or a mud-puddle at the back of the barn, cattle are smarter than most humans and refuse to drink city water.

Paralleling the RxR tracks, between the tractor and RxR tracks, is Railroad Street.

Perpendicular to Railroad Street and between the tractor and barn is Water Street.

The High Iron across the mid-ground is Norfolk Southern's 337-mile Cincinnati, New Orleans, & Texas Pacific Railway.

Note how deep the main-line rail is, weighing in at over 150-lbs/yard, maybe 175.

The camera (me) is on the East side of the tracks.
